First Wedding Dance Lessons

Yes! Our team of wedding dance teachers covers the entire UK, so whether you live in a village, town or city, you can take our classes.
We cover the whole country, coast to coast, from John o’Groats to Land’s End and everywhere in between!

Many couples are surprised that it’s possible to take wedding dance lessons at home, so here’s an explanation… I’m sure you’ve seen the dancers on Strictly Come Dancing whoosh across the floor? Their costumes are light, and the dresses are never longer than ankle length. Wedding dance is different because wedding dresses are floor length and heavier, making it much more difficult to travel quickly across the dance floor. Therefore, you don’t need as much space as you might expect to learn your first dance at home.

If you both stretch your arms out to the side and turn on the spot without bumping into anything, you are marking out the minimum that we could work with. So, if your space is bigger than this, you have enough space! It’s roughly 3m x 3m. Of course, bigger is better, so we encourage you make your space as large as possible. For example, you could push back the furniture to maximise your homemade dance floor!

That’s fine, as we can teach you somewhere else, such as a dance studio, function room, hall or leisure centre.

When you complete the Booking Form, we will ask whether you would like lessons at home or in a studio, as well as your address. Then, we can provide you with more precise information about space hire options in your local area, as they vary so much. For example, city locations are typically more expensive than rural locations. Also, halls are cheaper than dance studios.

Some of our teachers prefer to work from their own studios and these charges range from minimal to completely free of charge. Interestingly, if you are a gym member, it’s always a great idea to enquire about the studio space, as some gyms allow members to use it for free.

Also, when hiring space, you will probably be asked if the teacher has Public Liability Insurance, and the answer is always yes.

All wedding dance lessons are 90 minutes, so 1.5 hours. We feel this is the ideal lesson length because it allows time for your teacher to explain and answer all your questions, as you learn and practise the steps they create for you. Consequently, you will have a calm, effective learning experience, without feeling rushed or stressed. Also, if you need to take a short break, you can take a rest and reset, ready to go again! 

When you fill out your Booking Form, you’ll notice that we ask when is convenient for you. Weekdays, weekends, daytimes and evenings are all options, as is a mixture of these, as you don’t have to have classes on the same day each week. Then, according to your teacher’s availability, we will make suggestions for you to choose from. You can be confident that the schedule will suit your lifestyle and will fit around your commitments.

Our wedding dance lesson packages start from £285, with options to have additional lessons if you’d like more time to perfect your dance. Each private lesson is 1.5 hours long and scheduled to suit you.

3 lessons – £285
4 lessons – £370
5 lessons – £450

We offer several options of payment, accepting direct bank transfer, Visa, Mastercard, Google Pay and Apple Pay. Once you are happy with your schedule, we will send you an invoice. You’ll have three days to pay and once you do, your lessons are confirmed. We are proud to operate in this way, because we feel it’s important that the lesson schedule suits you, before you commit financially. Importantly, there are no hidden costs, we don’t charge extra for travel or VAT and we don’t require deposits.

That’s fine! All we need it 48 hours’ notice and we can either re-arrange (if possible) or refund. To read more on this, here are the Terms & Conditions.

We recommend taking your wedding dance lessons around six weeks before your big day. This gives you plenty of time to learn and practice, so your dance feels natural and confident – without learning so early that you forget the steps or lose the excitement.

Six weeks usually strikes the perfect balance – your dance will be fresh in your mind, and you won’t feel rushed or overwhelmed.

Of course, every couple is different. If you have holidays or busy schedules before the wedding, you can start earlier. And if you have less than six weeks to go, don’t worry – we’ve even helped couples learn their first dance just three days before their wedding day!

Ideally there will be 5-10 days between lessons, as hopefully it will allow you time to practise. For instance, if there’s a large gap between lessons, the momentum of learning can be a bit slow. However, if this is your only option don’t worry, as there are ways around it. For example, you could film yourself at the end of your previous lesson as a reminder should you forget anything.

That’s OK! We are very happy to advise you and help you choose your first dance song. It’s a great idea to make a short list of songs you like, as this becomes the starting point to finding the song that’s perfect for you. Here are some ideas for First Dance Songs For Weddings and Unusual First Wedding Dance Songs.
